[Comprehensive classics] Darcy or Brandon

"Ah?! Of course." Anne was a little surprised to be invited to dance by two good gentlemen. It is very rare for a lady like her to be invited by outstanding gentlemen.

Those friends of Mr. Darcy obviously also felt that this was a little strange. They probably never thought that a poor and beautiful country lady like Annie would be so popular. They all looked at Annie with surprised and weird eyes, which made Annie feel very angry and also Very uncomfortable, just when she saw the gorgeously dressed Lucy entering the ballroom with Mr. Robert on her arm, she bowed to everyone and said, "I'm a little thirsty, so I need to get a glass of wine."

Mr. Darcy glanced at the empty wine glass in Anne's hand, and immediately said: "It's my negligence, I'll help get it."

"No, I'll just go and get it myself. Mr. Darcy can have a good chat with the gentlemen. I saw Lucy coming, so I just went over to talk to her." Anne let go of Mr. Darcy after she finished speaking arms, and walked away quickly through the crowd.

Mr. Darcy had a smile on his face, but looked sharply at Colonel Brandon and Mr. Bull who were standing opposite him. They really should have a good chat. He finally fell in love with someone, yes It is absolutely impossible to let someone snatch it away.

In fact, among the three, Colonel Brandon and Mr. Bull may not have much affection for Anne other than pure admiration, but out of the dignity of a man, they are unwilling to withdraw voluntarily.After seeing the provocation in Mr. Darcy's eyes, the two gentlemen also looked at Mr. Darcy. Immediately, an invisible spark appeared between the eyes of the three gentlemen, and everyone looked like they were fighting.

Anne didn't know what happened between the gentlemen. After getting the wine, she took Lucy outside the ballroom, found a corner and frowned and asked, "Why did you change your skirt, and where are these jewelry?" Where did you come from? Why did you come here so late, you obviously left earlier than us. "

"Sister, don't worry about it again. Robert prepared these skirts and jewelry for me. As for why I came late, it was because when I came out of Robert's house after changing my clothes, I met Mrs. Ferrars who came over suddenly." Lu Xi pouted and said in frustration.

"Why, Mrs. Ferrars, why did she go to Robert's?"

"Robert hasn't told her that he has proposed to me. I heard that this lady has been choosing a lady who suits her own wishes for Robert these days. Yesterday, someone said that Robert was buying the lady's clothes and jewelry. Suddenly Passed by, happened to see Robert pulling me out of the house, and lost his temper!"

"Why did this happen, and then what happened? Did you quarrel?"

"Well, you actually asked me to take off my clothes and jewelry and leave, and said that I would never admit to Robert's proposal of marriage to me, otherwise Robert's inheritance rights would be taken back. It's ridiculous. She transferred all the inheritance to Edward in order to anger Edward. Robert is named, how can he get back any inheritance?" Lucy said with a snort.

"How did you respond?"

"I told her that I don't need her approval at all, as long as Robert is willing to marry me. Annie, you didn't see the face of that lady at that time, it was really wonderful. If I didn't rush to the ball, I would But we must have a good fight with her, who made her bully Robert so much in the past! I will definitely find an opportunity to get angry with her in the future." Lucy vowed.

"It's better not to talk to her, otherwise people will say bad things about you, which is not good for your reputation. And Robert will be embarrassed, after all, Mrs. Ferrars is his mother. If others know that he indulges his fiancée to be angry with him It's not good to say what your mother said. Mr. Robert is so kind to you, you have to think about him. But if Mrs. Ferrars troubles you again, don't be polite and fight back. You must not be bullied for nothing !” said Annie, pulling Lucy's arm.

"Okay, let's not talk about that annoying old woman. Annie, do you think this necklace looks good? This is a piece of jewelry that Robert's grandmother likes very much. It is very expensive and has been preserved very well. Because today I will participate This engagement banquet, so Robert specially took it out for me to wear." Lucy proudly pulled down the gemstone necklace hanging around her neck and showed it to Annie.

Annie saw this necklace from the very beginning. There were ten rubies the size of pigeon eggs, which were so dazzling under the light that she couldn't care less. "Very beautiful, I really envy you. I can find a fiancé like Mr. Robert. Although he has many shortcomings, he is really good to you! Now I will take out such a precious necklace for you to wear, and wait for you to get married. I will definitely give you all of these!"

"I believe my sister will also find a good husband." Lucy blinked at Annie, then bumped Annie's shoulder with her arm, motioning her to look in the direction of the door.

It turned out that Mr. Darcy was standing at the back door of the house looking in this direction. When he saw Anne turn his head and look over, he immediately smiled at her.

Today, Earl Gray's mansion is decorated with resplendent and splendid decorations, and even the garden is lit with many torches. The torches shine on Mr. Darcy, casting an orange halo on him, which makes his whole body Everyone becomes soft and warm.His eyes seemed to be shining brightly under the reflection of the fire, which made people dazzled.

Annie's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly ran over with her skirt in her hands and asked, "Mr. Darcy, are you looking for me?"

"Well, Miss Steele, the ball is about to start, let's go in quickly, so as not to miss the first dance." Mr. Darcy looked at Anne tenderly, and stretched out his arms to her.

"Is it going to start so soon? Then let's go in right away." Anne suppressed her beating heart like a deer, reached out her hand to hold Mr. Darcy's strong arm, and entered the ballroom with him.

Lucy stood in the garden and looked at the backs of the two leaving, and laughed happily. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that Mr. Darcy and her sister were very suitable, and the two walked in like a couple. Like a couple in love.

"Lucy, what are you looking at? Let's go in quickly. Didn't you say that we must dance the first dance?" Robert ran out of the ballroom and waved his hand in front of Lucy's eyes.

"I'm looking at Anne and Mr. Darcy. Do you think Mr. Darcy likes Anne?" Lucy asked, wrapping her arms around Robert's arm, resting her chin on his shoulder.

"I can't stop seeing Mr. Darcy!" Robert looked around, saw that no one was paying attention to them, he quickly kissed Lucy on the cheek with his own face, and whispered: "I think that Colonel Brandon And Mr. Bull seems to have a good impression of Anne too!"

"It's just a good impression. Those two gentlemen just wanted to find an obedient and capable wife, especially Colonel Brandon. He liked that annoying Marianne before. Ah, I didn't expect her to Here, you actually came to attend Mr. Willoughby's engagement banquet. It seems that we have a good show today." Lucy pointed to the two sisters Dasherwood who just came in from the door.

"Did she come here on purpose to find trouble?" Robert asked in surprise.

The two sisters Dasherwood came with Mrs. Jennings. They had just arrived in London for a few days, and Mrs. Jennings had not had time to visit, so she didn't know that today was the engagement of Mr. Willoughby and Miss Gray. prom.

Willoughby wrote Marianne a breakup letter more than a month ago. Marianne tried to contact him, but Willoughby never wrote back to her, which made Marianne very reconciled. Today she heard Mrs. Jennings say that Willoughby Bea, who might be coming to the ball, came here, and was looking here and there for Willoughby. .
